Answer 2

Good luck....and who plays in E flat? try adjusting the fine tuners....or maybe just loosen the springs a little bit.

Answer 3

Here is the best way to tune down to Eb.

Lower all the strings 1/4 turn. Then start tuning the low E, then tune the guitar without the tuner from the 5th fret etc...

Now repeat over again. What happens is that, everytime you drop one string, it puts the previous string up a notch because you are removing tension from the strings and when you get back to E, it got a different tuning then originally.

Then, you tune from the bridge to finalize it.
